Ingest or update a codebase in the agent-knowledge base. First run bootstraps the knowledge base from scratch; subsequent runs are incremental (only changed/new/deleted files reprocessed). Uses tree-sitter for zero-token structural extraction. Trigger on "/knowledge-ingest", "ingest this codebase", "load this into knowledge", "scan this project", "index this repo", "update knowledge", "refresh knowledge", "re-ingest". --- # knowledge-ingest Populate or update agent-knowledge from a codebase. Tree-sitter extracts structure (zero LLM tokens), then the agent distills clusters into knowledge entries + graph edges via existing MCP tools. **First run**: full ingest — scans all files, creates entries from scratch. **Subsequent runs**: incremental — only reprocesses files whose SHA256 changed, adds entries for new files, removes entries for deleted files. The `.knowledge-ingest-cache.json` file in the target directory tracks state between runs. ## When to use - **Onboarding a new project** — bootstrap the knowledge base so future sessions have context - **After a refactor** — re-run to update subsystem boundaries and relationships - **Periodic refresh** — re-run after significant changes to keep knowledge current - **Importing documentation** — PDFs, architecture diagrams, or external URLs ## When NOT to use - Single-file changes — just write a knowledge entry manually - No code changes since last ingest — the cache will skip everything anyway (fast no-op) ## Procedure ### Phase 0 — Validation 1. Confirm the target path exists and is a directory. 2. Detect project name: - Check `package.json` → `name` field - Check `Cargo.toml` → `[package] name` - Check `go.mod` → `module` line - Check `pyproject.toml` → `[project] name` - Fall back to directory basename 3. Check for `.knowledge-ingest-cache.json` in the target directory. If found, load it — this is an incremental run. Report how many files changed since last ingest. ### Phase 1 — Structural Extraction (zero tokens) 4. Loc
Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Sort by downloads/likes/comments/updated to find higher-quality skills.
4. Which import methods are supported?
Upload archive: .zip / .skill (recommended)
Upload skills folder
Import from GitHub repository
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
5. How to use in Claude / Codex?
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
Claude Code:~/.claude/skills/
Codex CLI:~/.codex/skills/
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
6. Can one skill be shared across tools?
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
7. Are these skills safe to use?
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
8. Why does it not work after import?
Most common reasons:
Wrong folder path or nested one level too deep
Invalid/incomplete SKILL.md fields or format
Dependencies missing (Python/Node/CLI)
Tool has not reloaded skills yet
9. Does SkillWink include duplicates/low-quality skills?
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
